Personal.

MT. c. M. Loomis, who has been away for two weeks on a visit to Washington, D. o., expects to make visit to Old Point Comfort before returning.
 Among the many New York visitors at Bolton & Neely's opening yesterday were Thomas G. Collins, partner in the substan- tial firm of Oppenheim, Collins & Co.,, large manufacturers of cloaks, suits, etc.; also MT. Clark of Tefft, Weller & Co.,, and MT. Bogue, manager of one of the departments of the latter frm. MT. Collins is an old New Haven boy and recalled, as did his old friend, Tax Collector Futile, good times they had in skating on the old canal where the City mar ket is now, and we'll remembered the Row land mill which was in the same locality. Stephen Knevals of New York, formerly a Chapel street merchant, was one of their chums in boyhood days.

A Communication.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The article which appeared in the Morning News of yesterday written by Paul Russo only goes to show his ignorance of the subject of which he writes, as we'll as his lack of lit- erature.
 In the first place the society of which he speaks has got 8 name, and the officers of the society know how to spell their names. We know of no such names as Stebbino Delgreco and Ricciardo, but as Sabino Del Grego and Ricciardi. We would advise MT. Russo to learn his own language first before he learns the English.
 Mr. Russo also states that the Political, Literary and Benevolent society died unborn two years ago. I am glad to state that am entirely ignorant of any such society. As for the Mazzini political society, of which MT. Russo was one of the founders, it still lives, and we expect that some of these days he will come and pay his back dues. It is really too bad that Father Rivieccio would not be domineered over by Paul Russo.
 The officers of the new club are as follows: Prof. D. Nicolari, president; $. Del Grego, vice president; M. Murano, secretary; A. Fiorillo, treasurer; M. Jaecarino, sergeant-at- arms; A. Tacinelli, D. Spinelli, assistants; A. Gualio, A. Rematore, $. Mattis, trustees.
 Teachers-D. Nicolari, for music; M. Mu- rano, for Italian language; G. Fusco, for dancing; F. Granucci, for sword fencing.

Perhaps the Eagle Was Not Lost.
A Pretty Ice Yacht Race.

BURLINGTON, Vt., April 6.-One of the finest ice yacht races of the season was sailed on Lake Champlain this morning under the auspices of the Burlington Ice Yacht club. The race was for the championship pennant of the club now held by F. H. Barnes Wau- kegan. There were five entries and starters in the race as follows: The Brush, owned by Whiting & Rogers; the Brownie, owned by Lane & McKellop; the Craze, owned by Lyman Hendee and s. Emerson; the Daisy, owned by Grant & Cheatle; the N. S., owned by Button. The course was laid out on the broad lake in triangular form and fifteen miles in length. The starting Point was off Rock Point in Burlington harbor. fresh during the race. The start was made at 10:05. The Brush led at the start, the Brownie following close behind. The lead taken at the outset by the Brush was maiu- tained to the close of the race. Just before reaching the turn the first time round the jib traveller of the Brownie broke, causing delay of twenty seconds, but not withstanding this accident the Brownie held the second place until the second time round, when the Brownies mast broke throwing her out of the race. About the same time the Daisy broke her rudder post, causing her to drop out The an interesting one to the close and was won by the Brush in thirty-thre minutes. The N. S. won the second place. The ice is now in better condition for yachting than at any time this winter.

A Cowardly Attempt to Murder a
 Preacher.


 Preacher.
 P1rrsBURa, April GA most cowardly at tempt to assassinate the Rev. w. F. Lowry, pastor of Browns African M. E. church, corner of Boyle and Hemlock streets, Ale ghany City, was made on last Sunday night while the gentleman was in the midst of his discourse A rifle bullet evidently aimed at MT. Lowry's head crashed through..a window at the side of the pulpit, passed but an inch or so from his head and embedded itself in the wall. Had not the ball struck against the sash and deviated the minister would have either been killed or seriously wounded A portion of the audience hearing the shot and noticing the result left the building, but were unable to make any discoveries. The minister continued his sermon. The only possible place from which the bullet could have been fred was the roof of building on the opposite side of an alley. There is at present dispute among the members of the church over valuable piece of property.

THE MYSTERY AT RAILWAY.
A Heart Broken Mother Believes the
 Victim is Her Daughter.

A Heart Broken Mother Believes. the
 Victim is Her Daughter.
 LANCASTER, Pa, April 6.-It is believed
 that the girl who was so brutally murdered
 at Railway, N.J.. on the 25th of March was
 no other than Mrs. Frank Hagen of this
 city. Mrs. Hagen was daughter of Mrs.
 Mary Shubert, formerly Mrs. Peterman, re- siding on South Duke street near Low. A representative of the United Press called on Mrs. Shubert, who is nearly heart-broken over the affair, and gathered from between her sobs the following particulars: Ida Ha- gen was in her twenty fifth year, though she did not appear to be twenty years old. She married Frank Hagen of this city and they soon after their marriage and Frank enlisted in the regular army. Ida is the mother of a boy two years old and she and her child lived with Mrs. Shubert. Ida worked in one of the cotton factories here up to the 22d of March, on which night she dis appeared from her home and has not been heard from since. She took with her all the money she received for her factory work and did not let her mother or anyone else know of her departure. Her mother says the pictures printed in the New York World of April are pretty good Hkenesses of her and she has no doubt the murdered girl is her daughter. A short time before Ida left Lancaster her mother intercepted a letter dated March 16 addressed to her. It was signed "H. M. O." and there was a question put to her asking if she remembered the night she and the writer stayed at "May's". Mrs. Snubert says the sMay" mentioned in the letter is May Manford, who keeps a dis reputable house in this city. "H. M. O." then went on to say he had been in Wash ington looking for work, but could not get any and that he was then in New Jersey and that he wanted Ida to meet him. Mrs. Shubert does not remember the place in New Jersey at which ''H. M. O." appointed to meet Ida as she Mrs Shubert) had unthinkingly destroyed the letter. Mrs. Shubert is positive the murdered girl is her daughter. She would like to go to Railway, but has not the means to pay her expenses. She is a poor washerwoman who lost her little savings by the failure of Henderson's bank. Several gentlemen also recognize the New York Stars picture of the girl and identify her

OXFORD, April 7.-The Congregational minister Once a Year, last Sunday, sought to show that our State normal fast may have grown out of the same divine enactment. He thought it not unbecoming in a governor to speak of sin in his fast proclamation and that it might conduce to the most good of the people to genuinely fast and confess the annual State fast day ensuing. He suggested considerable scripture, but he quotes it and combines it in way to misrepresent to de gree the mind of God relative to fasting. One can say: Judas went out and hanged himself Go thou and do likewise This is scripture, but bad teaching.
